A/N: This is my shot at trying to find a proper McHart continuance and/or ending, it depends. I think that Costa Rica thing always sounded quite tempting. This was intended to be a one-shot but it might turn into a multi-chapter since I am getting a few ideas. Let me know if you're interested in more. Enjoy!

Costa Rica? I like it.- that sentence crossed her mind when Diane woke up in the middle of the night. She opened her eyes and caught herself smiling at the memory of Kurt's totally inconvenient, unexpected proposition that appeared like the most twee proposal ever.

Make a life, put our lives first.- very poetically put.

She looked to her right and pouted when she saw Kurt lying there, peacefully sleeping. She was somehow haunted by what happened years ago and couldn't sleep any longer. It was 3am and there she was, contemplating her life decisions. Everyone does that at some point, right?

She thought about how fulfilling it could be, going away with Kurt for more than three days once. It could be two weeks, maybe three, or a month? Her excuse would always be that she has a 'fight at work'. With work, it would never be the perfect timing. But was that even important? Perfect timing? It was overrated in many situations, she was sure of that. It would never be the time and they could not make it the time.

If we don't do it now, we never will- he might have been right all those years. And then again, when did she ever take a single day off? She deserved taking a vacation, she deserved to forget about everything else for a few weeks and think about herself. And only about that.

How refreshing would it be to clear her head, get out of the city and just enjoy herself. And with Kurt by her side, what more could she want? So much had happened over the past few years, she could never say that she wasn't happy, but it was definitely to a limited extent because she could never catch a breath without having in mind everything that was going on around her. She was too determined, so diligent and way too eager to just let go. She knew that. And it bothered her that maybe one day she would regret not taking chances that could have been taken without consequence.

Now with Alicia and Lucca joining, they got a powerful addition to their team-again. Whatever differences they might have had with Alicia, she knew she could trust her and Cary to take care of the situation at the firm. And there was David, of course.

Still looking at her sleeping husband, she propped herself up on her right elbow and leaned her chin on her hand. She watched him for a moment. He was sleeping deeply, a faint snore coming out now and then.

She leaned over him to turn on the lamp on his nightstand and he was woken up when he felt her body on his.

She leaned back and looked at him.

He blinked a few times and got adapted to the actually soft lighting and looked at his wife who was watching him as if it was the most normal thing to wake him up in the middle of the night.

"Everything alright?", he whispered, propping himself up.

Diane didn't answer him, only looked down at the pillow she was playing with.

"Hey.", he said somewhat nervously and turned on his side to face her and brushed his fingers over her arm.

She looked up and kept the eye contact for a brief moment.

"Do you still like Costa Rica?"

A confused look rushed over Kurt's face. No way he could have expected that.

"Okay...random."

She chuckled amusedly at his remark and sank deeper into her pillows.

"What exactly is this about?"

"Us." she said, now all serious. "Let's go away."

"I think I remember that line."

"Well, not from me.", she grinned.

"Nope.",

She sighed, awaiting an answer but he actually didn't really know what to make of that.

He sat up and leaned against the headboard.

"So am I getting an answer from the cowboy? Or is he gonna get stoically silent at this one.", she teased him.

"Well..I do still like it."

"Good.", she grinned and watched him yawn.

"I should've waited with this, sorry.". She run her palm over his cheek.

"No, I'm good. So, where is this coming from?"

"Maybe a break just wouldn't be that bad."

He nodded a little absentminded.

"I think...I'm glad it only took you 5 years to realize that.", he grinned with his sleepy eyes.

"Kurt. This is serious."

"I know."

He took her hand and pulled her closer.

"And since we never had a honeymoon...we would have a chance to make up for that time."

"I'd like that." Kurt kissed her cheek softly and they stayed in that position for a few minutes, both now reflecting about how good of a decision that could be.

"What if we stayed?", he broke the silence, a completely serious and honest voice escaping his throat.

"Stayed?", she asked surprised.

"Yep.", he nodded, looking down.

She looked at him, baffled.

"What..what do you mean?"

"I think you know what I mean."

Diane sighed, looking away.

"And do what?"

"Make a.."

"...life. I know.", she interrupted him.

She had heard this before. And for some reason it made her feel as uncomfortable as it did the first time he said that. The thought of leaving everything behind and have a completely fresh start scared her. Not because she didn't like to try new things, but because she got so used to her life being the way it was and she couldn't imagine living her life differently. But Diane also never thought she'd get married and yet it seemed to have become the best decision she has ever made.

But was she ready to retire? To get completely out of her comfort zone and, as Kurt sees it, 'make a life'? A life that would be the complete and utter opposite to everything she has done before. Tough litigator who is responsible for helping so many people make their life, fight for their justice and everything they deserved, going some place where the only thing she'd have to care about would be if she packed the sunscreen and a good book.

Maybe, it was time. The time to decide upon whether they were ready to put their lives first. Or not.
